Who is it for?
The procedure is especially suitable for blondes and brown-haired women... In this case, it is necessary to take into account the "temperature" of the natural hair color. So, warm blond goes well with strands of caramel and milk chocolate colors. A cold brown-haired man is in harmony, for example, with ash and platinum blond.
Owners of light brown hair should dye their hair either blond or brown shades before such highlighting. Here the choice depends on the color type.
With cold color types, you need to pay attention to the following shades:
- cold blond;
- bitter chocolate;
- dark chocolate;
- ash chestnut.
Suitable for warm color types:
- honey;
- wheat;
- caramel blond.
Among chestnut shades, they look most advantageous:
- golden chestnut;
- milk chocolate;
- cappuccino;
- hazelnut.
With white-brown highlighting of red hair, shades are selected that are as close to natural color as possible. Caramel and golden chestnut colors look most natural.
What is the best length?
Highlighting of short hair is carried out by applying paint "feathers". Coloring begins from the back of the head, where "feathers" are distinguished from the main strand. The coloring composition is applied to this area.
In the case of long and medium length hair, highlighting involves dividing the hair into sections - temporal, occipital, parietal and crown. Staining can start both from the top of the head and from the back of the head.
Hair types
Currently, there are gentle techniques for dyeing strands using ammonia-free formulations. This highlighting is suitable for all hair types. However, the gentle coloring compounds are washed out three months after highlighting.
While classic dyes last for about six months, they are not suitable for dyeing dry and damaged curls.
Pros and cons
Pros of white-brown highlights:
- Gray hair is hidden.
- Visual volume is created.
- Hair shines and looks natural.
Minuses:
- The duration and complexity of the procedure.
- Long-lasting dyeing is not suitable for dry and damaged hair.
- Gentle highlighting lasts no more than three months.
Which type should you choose?
Strand dyeing techniques are divided into the following groups: longitudinal, transverse, frequent and rare highlighting.
With longitudinal highlighting, the strands are colored along the entire length. This type of painting includes techniques:
- Classic highlighting - frequent staining of thin (up to 0.5 cm) curls. This technique makes the hair look voluminous.
- Californian highlighting (shatush). Individual strands are colored along the entire length in a chaotic manner. The effect of curls burnt out in the sun is created. As a result, the hair looks natural.
- Cross highlighting includes color changes from roots to ends of hair. The following types of staining are most popular:
- Ombre. The roots are dyed in a darker shade and the ends of the hair are lightened.
- Balayazh - chaotic lightening of the ends of the hair or bangs.
- Frequent highlighting of strands is used in classical technique and reverse highlighting, in which the strands darken rather than lighten. Also, this method is used in ombre, shatusha and balayage.
- Rare highlighting (lightening of individual strands) is used to create the effect of sun glare in the techniques of melange and shatush.
Technics
Despite the fact that this procedure is quite time consuming, it can also be done at home. Dyeing the strands can be done using a special cap or in a more modern way using foil.
The highlighting cap has holes for the strands. Suitable for short to medium length hair. Longer hair can become tangled in the cap.
To dye your hair in this way you will need:
- Highlighting cap.
- Strand hook.
- Coloring composition (lightener and / or hair dye for chestnut shades).
- Container for mixing paint (plastic or glass).
- Coloring brush.
- A pair of plastic gloves.
- Shoulder cape.
- Shampoo and conditioner for colored hair.
When carrying out brown-white highlighting, you must do the following:
- Brush hair.
- Put on a cap and use a hook to get the strands that need to be dyed.
- Prepare the coloring mixture in a container.
- Apply the dye to the strands.
- Wash off the coloring agent after the time specified by the manufacturer.
- Take off the cap.
- Rinse hair with shampoo and apply balm.
The dye holding time should not exceed 45 minutes, otherwise the hair may "burn out".
Highlighting using foil allows you to perform rare dyeing of strands in various modern techniques. The materials will be required the same as when highlighting with a cap (except for the cap itself, of course) and pieces of foil 10 cm wide and twice the length of the strand.
Step-by-step highlighting with foil looks like this:
- Divide your hair into 4-8 sections using hairdressing hairpins.
- Prepare the coloring composition.
- Apply paint to the strands.
- Place a piece of foil under the strand and fold it over the dyed curl.
- Secure the painted areas with foil with a special hair clip.
- Withstand the time recommended by the manufacturer of the dye.
- Wash off the paint.
- Wash the curls with shampoo and balm.
- In this case, paint application starts from the back of the head.
Who is not suitable for?
White-brown highlighting, like any dyeing method, is not suitable for owners of heavily damaged curls and pregnant women. It is necessary to refrain from this procedure for at least a month after using henna and perm.
So, modern white and brown highlights are suitable for almost everyone. Curls look natural and effective at the same time. However, this type of coloring is not suitable for very weak hair.
A palette of brown shades

Popular shades of brown and white
Brown blond can be described as a dark base with lightened strands or golden tint. The palette of this color implies the following shades.
- Light brown (caramel). It is a brown tone with sparkling highlights. Perfect for any complexion and eye color. You can become a caramel blonde by frequently lightening strands against a dark background. The tone of a light brown blonde goes well with bright makeup and shiny accessories.
- Cherry. A rich shade, including berry notes, can be created by applying a tint shampoo or foam to lightened hair. A similar tone suits dark-eyed young ladies with olive skin. "Cherry" girls will undoubtedly attract admiring glances from those around them.
- Dark brown. This warm, beautiful shade is known in the beauty world as "bronde". It is perfect for enchantresses with green and brown eyes. This color can be created using the technique of complex dyeing or bronzing hair. Saturated brown blond is chosen by business women with an active lifestyle.
- Contrasting. This option is created by combining two tones: brown roots and lightened tips. A bold contrasting style is inherent in girls who prefer bright outfits and original accessories. They create such a shade (a combination of two colors) using the ombre technique. Bold contrast makes any feminine look bold and unique.
- Chocolate. This color creates the image of a burning chocolate blonde interspersed with golden notes.

Reasons for dyeing hair
